The Discipline Of Gratitude- Worship In Every Season
Gratitude is not just good manners; it is spiritual maturity in motion. Anybody can complain when life gets hard, and anybody can praise God when the bills are paid and the body feels strong. However, the disciplined believer learns how to thank God in sunshine and in storm. Paul does not tell us to give thanks for all circumstances, but in them. This means gratitude is not denial, it is not pretending pain is pleasant. It is choosing to remain God-conscious
